says about Kenyon Gyros below

Kenyon handheld camera stabilizers have been around  
for over 50 years and have been used by some of the worlds most famous photographers. When using long lenses or in low light , windy, or turbulent conditions,  a Kenyon gyro will help get more usable shots, resulting in less post production time. A Kenyon gyro will go where no drone or gimbal stabilizer can go.
   For some photographers , it is their "dirty little secret", for others, they will proudly acclaim their ownership of a Kenyon or "Ken Lab" gyro. Any professional photographer knows that for pro results you need pro equipment and you can spend a lot of money trying all of the cheap alternatives. But by buying quality, long lasting equipment, the investment will always have value in so many ways.  A Kenyon gyro retains it's value for a lifetime, we still see 30 year old gyros that still work great!
   Kenyon gyro stabilizers are not just for cameras. They have been used on Steadicams, binoculars, tank sites, guns, helicopter mounts, telescopes and even by NASA. 
   We also make a Compass Adjusting Gyro for calibrating compasses on boats. Kenyon gyros have even helped people with hand tremors or balance and gait problems that effect their everyday lives.  See the video by Jack Barry in the gallery for more info about using a gyro for balance and gait problems.

    Kenyon Gyro                             Stabilizer  Guide                        

To choose a gyro for your equipment, you must know how much it all weighs and how you plan to use the gyro.
For still photography, a two axis gyro will be adequate. For video work, a 3 axis gyro will serve you better. Longer lenses may benefit from a heavier stabilizer.
                                    Virtual Reality,  VR 360 video or immersive media has become one of the most popular
                                    and talked about forms of entertainment today. The Kenyon KS-6x6 gyro is now being
                                    used to help stabilize many different types of rigs for the camera arrays. 
                                    
​Freedom 360 specializes in using the KS-6x6 gyro with their VR 360 spherical mounts. Check out both videos below for a comparison with and without the gyro and how to attach the gyro to the mount.

                   Below are a few examples of customer testimonials
​                                      we have gotten over the years

   We pride ourselves on our products and customer service and sometimes we get a gyro in for repair with a nice note included.
                              Just recently, Bass Pro Shops Video Production Dept. sent their gyro in along with this note:
    "This has been, without reservation, one of the finest pieces of gear that we have used. We have had camera's fail, subjects fail, models fail, lenses fog, cards corrupt, boats fail, helicopters that couldn't fly and tornados all while this gyro was merrily spinning. Unfortunately, it has had its share of abuse on our adventures and it's been getting hotter and much noisier lately. It needs the kind of love that only the creator of such a fine device can give. Please inspect all items and give us an estimate of work that needs to be done or components that need replacement."
                                                                                 
                         
                                "You cannot do a successful night aerial photo shoot without a Kenyon Gyro.  Period."   
                                       As quoted by Julie Belanger of 111th Aerial & Architectural Photography & Video

​   Kenyon Labs is saddened to announce the passing of Roberta "Bobbie" Kenyon, 
niece of company founders Ted and Cecile "Teddy" Kenyon. 
   Bobbie was a long time member of the Ken Lab crew whos' spirited personality and creative talents
will be forever remembered by our customers and all who knew her. 
Bobbie was a talented artist who completed many commercial projects and enjoyed attending and selling her wares at Renaissance Fairs. 
An avid photographer, she tirelessly documented the rebuild process of the 1893 catboat "Dolphin" and the restoration of the D & H Scovil Mill building Ken Lab now calls home.
   Bobbie was a true free spirit and nature lover who always had time to stop and smell the roses. 
Life is far too short, she would want us all to do the same.
